KR> Oshkosh AirVenture

[Robert7721]

Sid,


I hope so. I did spend much of Monday by the plane answering questions to 
curious folk. 


I was "almost" an Oshkosh airshow performer on Weds. I was invited to fly in 
the "Homebuilt Review" on Weds afternoon.  There were about 17 home builts in 
total. We taxied down to 36L to stage for the fly-bys, but we were cancelled at 
the last minute due to high gusting cross winds (20 knots).  So we all paraded 
back the taxi way to our parking spots. Oh-well. 


Much thanks to Larry Howell and his wife for some really great burgers and beer 
at Camp Scholar Sunday night.


I departed on Thursday. Great time as usual at Oshkosh.


Thanks,


Rob

Arrived home from Oshkosh on Saturday and just now had the time to make a 
posting.  To the un-initiated, if you don't think this is a big country, try 
driving across it for a few days.
I did manage to get to the KR Forum on Monday morning; had to leave early to 
get to my station at the Composites 101 Workshop.  I also did the 
presentation several times for the Workshop.  I have heard it many times and 
am a believer: If you want to really learn a topic, try teaching it.
During the week I visited Rob Schmidt's KR a few times.  Each visit I would 
have to explain how the KR is constructed to other prospective builders who 
were checking out the KR.  After three visits, two buddies from Texas said 
they had decided to build two identical KR-2S aircraft side by side.  When 
finished they would then flip a coin to determine who would own which 
aircraft.  Rob, I am sure that your KR has inspired several more builders 
beyond these two buddies.

That's easy to figure out Mark, first you cralled over to Langford's KR.
Being the only taildragger in the group it was the logical choice for you to
climb up the tail wheel, push the rudder aside and roll onto the horizontal
stab.  From there it's just like getting out of bed.

Mark. in the picture you sent, just behind your plane in the next row is 
a Christian Eagle. Did you get a chance to meet the owner? My EAA mentor 
down here is Lee Taylor, and he has an Eagle that he and his wife flew 
up there. It would be quite a coincidence if that happened to be HIS 
plane, wouldn't it? I cant make out the tail number, but his is N11LT.

It's coming up fast and Sun n Fun will soon be past. Last year as we flew into 
Oshkosh, the notams said you must monitor ATIS prior to reaching Ripon staging 
area. Ha, that was a joke. There was nothing but static on the frequency and 
ATIS was not receivable until you were already in the approach pattern. If ATIS 
had been readable, we would have been informed of a lot of approach info 
including active runways, approach routes in use, etc. Well, according to the 
FAA, this will not be the case this year. There have been several changes in 
the new Notam and the frequency for ATIS is one of them. The FAA has set up a 
special frequency for this event and have also installed a higher powered 
transmitter in order for pilots to be able to receive ATIS information for 
quite some distance out before ever reaching the Ripon staging point. This is 
good news. I just hope the install a high powered strobe light at the staging 
point in Ripon. No one in our group of five KR's ever seen the strobe except 
for me. The only reason I seen it was that I had made two practice approaches 
to Oshkohs in the preceding month and I knew exactly where it was. That strobe 
looked like a camera flash. Anyway, start your planning and get your Notam. The 
printed book version of the Notam will be mailed out in May and you can order 
yours for free now on the EAA Airventure web site.
